During a fistfight, a man dies after being run over by a truck
ALTERCATION TO ACCIDENT – A man was killed after being run over by a truck in the midst of a brawl in Rodriguez, Rizal, last Saturday night, May 27, 2023.
While in the middle of a drinking session, the victim and his friend reportedly got into an argument, which escalated into a physical altercation or fistfight. The deceased was identified as Vincent Dinusta, 20 years old, while the person he fought with was a minor, whose name was not disclosed.
The two ppeared to be playful banter but it spiraled out of control into a full-blown brawl. “Lumalabas na nagbibiruan lang itong dalawa. Bandang huli ay nagkapikunan,” said Police Captain Umar Aduca, head of the Investigation Section of Rodriguez Police.
It is still unclear what triggered the dispute between the two individuals. It was discovered that the 10-wheeler truck, which hit the victim and was supposed to deliver hollow blocks in Rodriguez, came from Porac, Pampanga. The driver of the truck has already provided financial assistance to the victim’s family.
Although the family of Vincent has no plans to press charges against the truck driver, they are determined to file a case against the minor friend of the victim. GMA Integrated News is still attempting to get a statement from the suspect’s family, who is currently under the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development and is facing a homicide complaint.
